pore reduction.
Large pores are a worrying problem for most people, commonly found in individuals having oily skin. This problem is usually caused by overactive sebaceous (oil) glands. As a result, the excess sebum extends up to the upper skin layer, causing a glossy look and unusually enlarged pores and leading up to the problem of comedones and inflammatory acnes.
factors that contribute to enlarged pores may include the following:
1. Aging
Aging causes a variety of skin problems including large pores as another problem which is affected by an age-related factor. As we age, skin aging also accelerates; previously tight pores will stretch out due to skin degeneration caused by time.
2. Loss of Collagen and Elastin
The loss of collagen and elastin in the skin is a factor that causes skin degeneration because collagen is the major component of skin. If a great amount of collagen is lost, the skin will become loose and flabby, resulting in large pores, not as tight as before.
3. Hormone Imbalance
The problem of hormone imbalance brings about dull skin, enlarged pores and subsequently wrinkle issues. Besides, if certain hormone is over-produced, it may cause acne problems and perhaps an over-oily skin that leads to non-inflammatory acnes and large pores inducing rough skin. Hormone imbalance is then another factor of large pores.
4. Sex
The male sex is more commonly found with oily skin and large pores than the female. The problem of large pores in women may be found affected by hormones and menstruation.
5. Sunlight
Sunlight contains both UVA and UVB rays. The UVA rays are potentially harmful to collagen under the dermis layer. Regular and long exposure to sunlight causes damage to skin collagen and elastin, followed by dry and rough skin, more enlarged pores and premature wrinkles.
6. Skin Condition
The skin condition is found to be a key factor for large pores as people with oily skin or T-Zone skin problems tend to be troubled with large pores rather than normal-skinned people.
